Review of Poker.com Affiliate Program
With the development of Poker.com, along came it’s one of a kind affiliate program. With features such as private tournaments, xml tournament feeds, and an area where affiliates can easily list their websites and exchange links, the Poker.com affiliate program is one of my favorite poker affiliate programs around.
Introduction to Poker.com Affiliate Program
With the Poker.com affiliate program affiliates can earn up to 40% revenue share. All members of the Poker.com affiliate program are able to take advantage of the amazing conversion rate that Poker.com seems to have, as well as the extremely large array of marketing tools that are offered to affiliates by Poker.com.
Navigation
I’ve never seen such a clean and accessible backend than the backend of the Poker.com affiliate program. The layout of this program is extremely clean and relates to the same style that is used throughout the rest of the Poker.com website.
When affiliates log into the affiliate program backend, they will have the option of using a global navigation at the top or another very nice navigation on the right hand side. Not only can affiliates choose from using these links, but they may also take note of the Quick Start Guide, marketing tools, and recent news that are prominently displayed in the center of the page. The Poker.com affiliate program navigation gets 9 out of 10.
Unique Features About This Program
I especially like how easy their navigation structure is. But that’s not the only thing that is unique about Poker.com’s affiliate program. They also have a section where all of their poker affiliates can add their links into a large database of websites that are participating in a poker link exchange. Not only can they add their link, but Poker.com makes it very easy to add a few lines of what the affiliate is looking for in an exchange. When another poker affiliate wants to participate in a link exchange, all they have to do is click a link to send an email through the Poker.com affiliate email system. This is only one of the many ways that affiliates can focus on the website search engine optimization.
If you are planning on using the private table feature, you should certainly look into having a custom table made for your players to see. All that you need is your logo and at least a week of advanced notice for your affiliate manager to arrange it. Just another feature the Poker.com affiliate program offers that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
Marketing Tools
Poker.com might not have a whole ton of marketing tools, but everything they provide is unique and necessary. Their affiliate marketing tools include a large assortment of landing pages, an xml tournament feed, private tournament setup, exit console script code to capture visitors when the leave your website, and an option to remarket to your old Poker.com players to entice them to play again.
Revenue
One of the reasons that I love the Poker.com affiliate program for their generous affiliate revenue structure. Affiliates will earn 40% of the revenue generated by the players they refer no matter how much rake the affiliate generates during the month and that also includes revenue from side games.
Reward System
If you come to some of the Casino / Poker affiliate conferences, you will probably run into somebody from Poker.com. Talk with them for awhile and I’m sure they will be able to make you a special offer for promoting Poker.com.
Subaffiliate Program
Poker.com offers their affiliates the opportunity to refer other affiliates and get paid for doing so. By referring another affiliate to the Poker.com affiliate program, Poker.com will pay you 10% of the referred affiliate’s income.
Pay Schedule
Poker.com pays affiliates the month after the revenues were earned and usually pay on time. If revenues of $1000 were earned in March, then an affiliate can expect to be paid these revenues between the 10th and 15th of April.
Affiliate Managers and Customer Service
I’ve had the opportunity to meet many of the Poker.com affiliate managers during conventions and conferences. I can say that every one of them is kind and friendly as well as willing to give personal advice to affiliates in order to generate more revenue. If you begin sending them a large amount of traffic, you can be sure that you will have a Poker.com affiliate program manager helping you along every step of the way.
